Music Specialist

Professional performer and teacher for over 20 years.  Performed live on radio and TV; major venues coast to coast; for 3 US presidents; DCI group - The Cadets of Bergen County; symphony; brass quintet; big band.  Mark is particularly insightful in quickly and accurately diagnosing obstacles and offering effective solutions all while keeping development fun.  A symphonic player with high-level marching band experience, Mark has acute insight into the varied needs of today's performers and develops customized paths for embouchure development and maintenance in addition to musical interpretation.

I believe in making music fun while students learn.  Beginners through professionals who have a genuine enjoyment through playing will create a life-long enrichment, hobby or profession.  Strong fundamentals with solo application help the whole student develop.  Whether you are looking for basics, school ensemble support, audition preparation or a come-back plan, musical expression and enjoyment are a personal extension.  I look forward to helping all my students remove obstacles to their self-expression.

Mark is a phenomenal instructor and makes learning fun. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is really serious about learning to play the right way!!

Our son loved it! I have never seen him this excited about learning anything so this is really exciting for us!

I thought he connected really well with my son in his very first lesson. I left the meetin we had for last 10 - 15 min of  of first lesson feeling really confident.

First lesson revealed valuable techniques to focus with immediate improvement. Mark is an excellent teacher and we are excited to continue lessons.

Mark is an incredible instructor for my 10 year old son. He is experienced in working with younger players and my son really enjoys learning from him. We were hesitant to try online lessons, but Mark has this mastered this venue; having instruction in our our home has been super convenient. I highly recommend Mark as an online trumpet tutor.

Mr. D is an excellent tutor who had a unique and very effective teaching style. The lessons were fun and very productive. I Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a trumpet tutor.

Mark is an excellent music instructor who works so well with kids. His knowledge, expertise and instruction, not to mention his dry sense of humor, always had us looking forward to the next lesson. He's an awesome instructor, as well as human being and we would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their playing ability.

Mark, is honestly the best instructor I've ever had. He's taught me so many things to make me a much better musician and person. He has such a great and funny personality and makes his instruction very enjoyable. If you're looking for an awesome trumpet teacher, Mark is the person for you.
